Cam Newton had one of the greatest individual seasons of all time in 2015. So it should be no surprise that he is Sporting News’ Offensive Player of the Year.

Don’t just take our word for it. In our annual poll of players, coaches and executives around the NFL, Newton got a whopping 67 percent of the votes. That gave him considerable distance from the four runners-up — Tom Brady, Antonio Brown, Carson Palmer and Adrian Peterson.

Given how impressive those guys were through 16 games, Newton had to be historically special. And he was.

You win fantasy football, you win the world. Good job Cam.

Fantasy football is based off stats. Stats are generated by play on the field. Cam generated A LOT of plays on the field. One of the greatest all time offensive performances no matter how you set the context.

    • Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. (He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.
    • Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.
    • I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
